I liked the hotel being on the lake and out of the downtown area. Can't swim in the lake though. Very rocky. We had a car so were able to drive. Room was nice, clean. Little kitchen was convenient. Staff was friendly and helpful. only negative was that if your room on the pool side it's open to all the rooms on the other side. No privacy unless you have the curtain closed. But still nice place. I would stay again.

The apartment was clean and tidy but a little dated. Beds were comfortable and the small kitchen had everything we needed to self cater. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and offered advice on local attractions. The heated outdoor pool was perfect and the area well kept.

It is a lovely motel & the lake is right next to it, which is why we stayed there. Amazing to have an evening seat outside our apartment by the lake & also to wake up with the lake view through the window.
